Brilliant strategists!! I had a very serious issue. I was charged with 3 counts of a serious crime which led to almost a 2 week trial. The events leading up to this trial happened 3 years ago, but they stuck with me the whole time. I am not sure how they are able to do it, but with Mr. Lawrence's help we pulled a win. I plead not guilty to all 3 charges and if I was convicted of even 1 of them I would have lost my career and my life as I know it. So I really commend what these gentlemen do and being able to their job when they have so many other cases to work. Thank you again Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Wakefield for the work and dedication you have put into my case which has allowed me to continue forward with my life and career in the Navy.

When I found Michael, I had just been fired by my second attorney, in a very complicated, difficult, and high stakes divorce case. My case had already been run into the ground by two previous lawyers and even more so by the entire so-called justice system. Things were at a very low point, and no one else would take my case because of how difficult it was. Michael almost didn’t take it himself. Immediately, I knew though, and I think he knew too, that he was the only one who could right the ship.
With him by my side in the courtroom, the dynamic immediately shifted. I knew I was in good hands. His courtroom skills are second to none. And he’s not afraid to take it all the way when it’s the right thing to do. In my case, he’s the only one who could have.
Even more extraordinary than his skills, knowledge, and demeanor in the courtroom was his demeanor as my attorney. He was always professional, ethical, patient, and compassionate. He always found a gentle and tactful way to disagree with me, and I always felt confident trusting his advice and deferring to his strategic decisions. He always listened to me and respected my opinions, and believed in me, in a way that no one else had. He was unwavering in his commitment to fight for me against all odds. And against all odds, and with so much tenacity, stamina, and grace, he won. We won. In the process, he restored my faith in the justice system and humanity as a whole.
This attorney is a warrior of the highest order and an angel walking on earth. If you are lucky enough to get him in your corner, you should consider yourself truly blessed. His advocacy was worth every penny and more.

Jacob is awesome!
When I received my first ticket ever, I was glad my friend referred me to him. Due to work I was unable to go to court, but Jacob was very thorough with the process. He kept me up to date on everything that was happening. He was able to get my ticket reduced, and not on my record.
I will definitely recommend him to anyone!

Lawyers Alexandra VanBelle and Patrick Songy of Deno Millikan took on our family law case after getting no call backs from several other firms. It was my first time having to hire a lawyer and they talked me through everything and did a fantastic job navigating the newer and less common defacto parenting law.
They were always available to answer questions and guide us through the difficult process. Thank you Alex and Patrick for helping us get the legal parenting rights for our grandchildren!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joel Nichols. When my existing attorney was no longer available, I reached out to Joel. He jumped right in without missing a beat. He brought my case to resolution in the few short months I worked with him. I loved his approach to being fully transparent - good or bad - and how often he would communicate, even if there wasn't an update.
I'm pleased with the outcome of my case, and will work with Joel for any legal items I have in the future.
He truly is the best and such a kind and caring man.

I like to file a complaint. While speaking with a receptionist. She claimed you'd only been Open for 15 mins at 8:55pm then told me I can't speak to people like that and she hung up the phone. I'm trying to convey my problems and concerns and only get brushed off and told I'll get a call back.
I got a call back and saying I'll like to file a complaint and was told I'm not going to get into this again and was hung up on once again.
I was not using foul language and I was trying to be respectful. my worries are being passed over and my request are not being respected prior to the first hearing with Brittany.

completion, I was fortunate enough to find Scott. It felt like divine intervention, as he is not only compassionate but also a lawyer who genuinely prioritizes doing the right thing.
I’m incredibly grateful to have found him on Avvo. Even before I officially retained him, Scott took the time to thoroughly understand my case and thoughtfully laid out my options, explaining what steps to take and which ones to avoid. His approach was both professional and reassuring.
I truly wish I had discovered Scott earlier during my divorce proceedings. For anyone navigating the difficult path of a divorce, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to him. He is a steadfast advocate, and his team provides exceptional support to ensure the best outcomes.

Now the county is CO-OWNERS of Dawson Place (with a Judge)
Married Couples at the County that have conflicts;
Please tell me you get this. Well it gets better. All these cases are not creditable because they are all invested in this "dawson Place" that is no more than the wolf's house hiding behind our victimized children...
Prosecutors, DSHS, FBI, SAU, SIU, are all housed together.
Judge George F B Appel - sister in law Judge Tam Bui
Lead Prosecutor Dawson Place is Wallace Langbehn, his wife ? Judge Jennifer Langbehn.. (fair trial- not a chance in hell)
Mark Roe PA -married to Lisa Paul PA and also past president of DP
Judge Cindy Larsen (also worked at dawson place) and her husband SIU, Jeffrey Ross (sheriff at Dawson Place)
PA Jason Cummings and Court facilitator Kimberly Cummings (and a brother Justin Cummins... ???? W t F
Judge Joseph Wilson and Public Records Officer Cecilia Wilson.
Now we have Judge Paul Thompson who APPPOINTED HIS WIFE Whitney Riviera.. to be a Judge.... There are so many reason why Anderson Hunter law firm prevents us from a fair and impartial hearing...

He is the worst person ever. He will go after your money consistently, he would rather take you to court and garnish your wages than let something go to collections so you have more time to get situated. He has ruined my ability to be able to afford anything with my job and has now made all my bills behind because he’s a shark.

I pulled my credit report and found the amount and months I am paying are completely wrong. In addition the amount I owe per this man continues to increase thousands higher than I owe. I can't get ahold of him and the name he gave to contact in his voicemail is was said too fast to comprehend. He is ruining a chance for me and my family to get a roof over our heads. When I pay $300 he reports $100. This has got to be illegal!!!

This crooked lawyer helped put a man in jail because he defended himself against a crazy crackhead lunatic on a bus. Adam offers no positive service to society. If we lived in a fair world, it would be Adam Sturdivant in jail and not the young man he helped prosecute. Shame on him.

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You
A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.
Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.
When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:
- Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
- Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
- Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
- Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
- Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
- Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.
Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.
What Does a Government Lawyer Do?
A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:
- Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.
- Provide regulatory compliance advice: Offering guidance on meeting regulatory requirements for industries subject to federal, state, or local laws.
- Handle administrative law matters: Representing clients before government agencies, such as appealing administrative decisions, applying for permits, or defending against regulatory enforcement actions.
- Challenge or defend government actions: Representing clients in lawsuits involving government agencies, including constitutional challenges, civil rights violations, or disputes over government decisions.
- Negotiate settlements with government entities: If a government agency is pursuing legal action against you or your business, a lawyer can negotiate settlements to avoid costly litigation.
- Advocate for policy changes: Advising clients on legal strategies for influencing public policy, including lobbying and drafting legislation.
- Litigate constitutional issues: Handling cases related to the Constitution, such as First Amendment rights, due process violations, or unlawful government actions.
How Are Government Lawyers Paid?
Government lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: For ongoing legal matters, such as regulatory compliance or government contract disputes, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.
- Retainer: For clients who need ongoing legal support, such as businesses frequently interacting with government agencies, a lawyer may charge a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Contingency fee: In some cases involving litigation, such as civil rights violations, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case.
It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Government Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a government lawyer depends on the complexity of the legal issue, the lawyer's experience, and their fee structure. Here are some general cost estimates:
- Hourly rates: Government lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For specific legal services, such as drafting a government contract, flat fees can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the nature of the service.
- Retainer fees: A retainer for ongoing legal work with government agencies can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the scope and frequency of the work.
- Contingency fees: In cases where a lawyer works on contingency, their fee is usually a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or damages awarded if the case is successful.
Be sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your consultation to ensure that you understand the fees associated with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Government Lawyer
When hiring a government lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and skills needed for your specific situation. Key questions to ask include:
-
What is your experience with government law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has substantial experience in handling cases or issues involving government agencies, regulatory compliance, or constitutional law. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services - whether by the hour, flat fee, retainer, or contingency fee - and request an estimate of costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your legal options and the likelihood of success based on your specific situation. -
How do you handle interactions with government agencies?
Ask about their approach to dealing with government entities and their experience with specific agencies relevant to your case (e.g., IRS, EPA, SEC). -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past. -
Who will handle my case?
Clarify whether the lawyer you are meeting with will personally handle your case or whether junior attorneys or paralegals will do most of the work.
How to Check the Credibility of a Government Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable government lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Review their professional experience: Look for specific experience in government-related legal issues, such as regulatory compliance, government contracts, or administrative law, on their website or professional profile.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s reputation and track record.
- Ask for references: Request references from previous clients who have worked with the lawyer on government-related matters to understand their experience and effectiveness.
- Check for membership in relevant organizations: Look for memberships in professional organizations such as the American Bar Association's Administrative Law Section or the National Institute of Government Procurement, which can indicate the lawyer’s focus on government law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a government lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:
- Detailed description of your legal issue: Be prepared to explain your situation, whether it’s a regulatory compliance question, a government contract issue, or a dispute with a government agency.
- Relevant documents: Bring any paperwork related to your case, such as contracts, permits, letters from government agencies, or notices of investigation.
- A list of questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, including the legal process, potential outcomes, and costs.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any relevant events, such as the issuance of government orders or interactions with government agencies.
- Goals for the outcome: Be ready to discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s a favorable settlement, regulatory compliance, or overturning a government decision.
By being organized and prepared, you can help your lawyer understand your situation more quickly and give you the best legal advice moving forward.
